Alex Wilson and Omar Puente for London Latin Jazz Festival

The London Latin Jazz Festival returns to the Pizza Express Jazz Club, Dean Street, Soho from 29 September to 3 October with a vibrant programme straddling Afro-Cuban, Brazilian and gospel, curated and led by pianist and composer Alex Wilson. Now in its third year the festival has built a sizeable reputation for top flight Latin American artists, imaginative collaborations and rising stars of the UK latin-jazz scene. Opening the festival is a solo performance by Alex Wilson (top left) and an album launch by promising young Cuban pianist and singer Eliane Correa and her En El Aire Project on 29 September. Alex Wilson also plays solo set on 30 September followed by upcoming latin/Afrobeat groove merchants, J-Sonics, featuring singer Grace Rodson (pictured centre).
